Oh, it’s Thanksgiving week, and I’ve been very neglectful of Thanksgiving here on the blog. I haven’t thought too much about it and haven’t done any decorating (not like me!). This year, we’re not hosting dinner, and we’re not hosting visitors. All we have to do is drive somewhere and be guests. I’m really looking forward to it. I need things at a slower pace right now, so this is perfect.
Since I spent so much time in the kitchen the past two weeks doubling up on meals for the freezer, I’m taking advantage of it this week to give myself a break:
Sunday–Pork Loin Roast with Herbed Pepper Rub, garlic mashed red potatoes (from the freezer), asparagus
Monday–Tortilla Soup (from the freezer), corn muffins
Tuesday–Hamburgers with mushrooms & onions, sweet potato fries, corn
Wednesday–Meatballs and spaghetti, salad, green beans
Thursday & Friday–Turkey (of course!) at my sister’s house, plus birthday cake. We’re celebrating my nephew’s 2nd birthday!
Saturday–We’ll be back home, so I’ll pull some Pesto Stuffed Shells from the freezer and serve them with salad.
Hope you’re staying relaxed this week and looking forward to celebrating with friends and family! Find more meal plans, recipes, and inspiration at Menu Plan Monday at OrgJunkie.
I would love your pesto stuffed shells recipe.
I have a menu Monday link up if you want to link up every week. Have a great week! Erin

It’s so nice to have a slower paced week, especially one with a holiday in it! Great idea to prep beforehand so the menu is less stressful.
